A member asked:
Can you get more side effects the second time you go on lexapro (escitalopram)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can occur: It is anecdotal, but I have encountered patients who experience changes in side effects after resuming a previously discontinued medication. This can be due to a number of internal and environmental changes that can occur in the intermediate time. If you find that you are not having the same experience with a med, there are often other options to discuss with your doctor.
